Atlantic Lithium has expressed optimism about the future of the Ewoyaa Lithium Project in Ghana, emphasizing its commitment to producing positive returns for shareholders while benefiting local communities.
In a statement, Chief Executive Officer Keith Muller described the parliamentary ratification of the mining lease as “a landmark and watershed moment for both Ghana and Atlantic Lithium.” He highlighted the company’s aim to establish Ewoyaa as a leading global lithium producer, capable of making a significant contribution to the region.
Muller praised the support of the Government of Ghana and local authorities, noting the vital role of communities in the Central Region, where the project is located. He also thanked the company’s team for their collective efforts, which have resulted in achievements that form the foundation for the project’s next phase.
The CEO acknowledged challenges along the way but reaffirmed the company’s commitment to completing the project as planned. He noted that ongoing work and investment through 2025 will focus on optimising production, ensuring long-term sustainability, and maximising benefits for both shareholders and local stakeholders.
“Our focus remains on delivering a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible lithium operation that benefits the public eye, our team, and our partners,” Muller said. “We look forward to providing further updates in due course.”
Barari DV Ghana Limited, the company that holds the mining lease, operates as the local subsidiary of Atlantic Lithium, the Australia-based parent firm behind the Ewoyaa Lithium Project.
While Atlantic Lithium manages global assets and is listed on multiple international stock exchanges, Barari DV Ghana Limited is the Ghana-registered entity directly responsible for the project and the signatory to the lease agreement with the Government of Ghana.
Atlantic Lithium wholly owns Barari DV, meaning the local company functions as its operational arm in Ghana. As part of the broader investment structure, the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) holds stakes at both levels—about 6 percent in the local project and 3.06 percent in the parent company—giving Ghana exposure across the value chain.
